Happy Halloween! How's this for getting into the halloween spirit? I have never done anything like this - well, not since I was a child, so why not branch out and have a little fun? The watercolor batik technique is perfect for creating a vintage mood as these witches make their brew! Unlike all the other batiks I've done, I painted the background first - getting the glow of the fiery sunset in. I painted the sky with hot wax and then proceeded to drop color into the figures, cauldron, and land. It was fun to let those paints just mingle together. Did I mention that the only color I premix on the palette is orange? This is painting number 671 in as many days :)
wow Tammie, I love this fab piece. Hugs Annette x

ReplyDeleteWow! I love this piece! So you are not doing encaustic? Is it a special wax, special paper, or fabric? What kind of paint? Amazing looking.
